able for the production of milk and the manu-
facture of butter and cheese. In some of the
best diary dis ricts in the West the yield of milk
per cow or herd is less than half what 1t ordin-
arilv is In many places there IS not grass

that they paw out more money for feed than
they receive for milk or the articles made from
it. Several well-stocked dairy farms near this
city will be at a great. loss unless rains
occur to produce late feed.
STILL the season that is unfavorable for the
production of feed and milk is very favorable
for sheep. Stock owners generally reported
large number Of lambs dropped in the spring
and verv few deaths. The weight OF heeces
averaged higher than for several years. while
the price of wool was higher. Sheep are fat,
while steers in the same pastures are lean Ihis
is accounted for by the circumstance that sheep
will do better on short and dry grass than cattle
will They will also eat many kinds of vegeta-

That sheep suffer less than cattle from search

Sheep Raising.
Chicago Times.


Farmers who few years ago sold off their
sheep in order TO increase their stock of cattle
now find that they we're losers by the operation.
So do those who parted with their flocks in
der to engage in feeding fancy cattle. The de-
cline in the price of pure blooded cattle of any
breed has been much greater than that of sheep
wanted for breeding purposes. Parties who have
raised sheep for breeding purposes have found
their business profitable. Good focks are not
only in demand for improving flocks in various
parts of this country, but they are wanted for
shipment TO Australia and South America. The
popularity OF breeds of sheep changes as does
that of cattle and horses, and the breeder must
study to meet the demand. Sheep that will fur
nish a tolerably heavy fleece and large carcass
are now wanted for keeping on improved farms.
The fockmasters who keep sheep for their wool
alone have retired the Western plains and
left the production of mutton to those who oc-
cupy improved land
The present season is very unfavorable for
the production of beef. The Price Of steers has
been constantly declining. and in many parts OF
the West they have gained very little since they
were turned into pasture. Grass Is short and
dry water very scarce, the heat oppressive, and
insects common. Under such circumstances
cattle can not be expected to take flesh and

Latrobe Of the lack OF individuality in pub

unon this, Latrobe produced the corn-stalk
columns which now stand in somewhat I'M
noticed portion of the Capitol. Each column is
composed of cluster of Indian corn-stalks bound
together that the joints of stalk stand
slightly above the preceding one; thus. by the
recurrence of the joints in the seven divisions OF
every stalk, a spiral effect is produced. The
capitals composed of ears of maize with the
balf-open husks displaying the corn, which in

AGOOd Business.

D. NJ. stahl. in Country Gentleman.
Farming is good business, when made a
business of. Idleness. ignorance and thought
lessness never made money in the banking
house, mandatory store; they have never
made money the farm. The elements
that bring success in the city bring it in the
the country. The same traits OF character
the foundation stones Of prosperity and happi-
ness everywhere. Farming does pay, when it
should pay. A knowledge that Is never salts
fed with its attainments: an ENTERPRISE that
continually submits to good judgment; an en-
ergy that will not rest short of achievement
these bring success in agriculture. in manu-
featuring, IN commerce.
Too many men dissatisfied with their
cupation when they should be dissatisfied with
themselves. Not the farm but the farmer is at
fault. Farm work is not mean work. unless
meanly done If rightly done, it is as much
brain work manufacturing or trading. Ii the
farmer is dissatisfied with his WORK because 1t IS
of a low grade he convicts himself of being
low grade farmer. Farming is hard work, but
then it is healtnful work. 1t tires, but it brings
a good appetite and sound sumber. The farmer
is not crowded in foul factory confined in a
small office. md if the work is hard. what of
thatl Who has found easy work that is we'll
paid fora Labor-saving inventions have made
teamwork much easier for the muscles than it
thirty years ago. If 1t taxes man too
much now it is because he is behind the times
lazy
The man who. born and bred In the country,
desires leave his farm and go to the city, is to
be pitied somewhat, and likely more to be de-
spsed He to be pitied because he is foolish
enough to suppose that in the city he would get
the same pay for less work, more pay for the
same work. The city is crowded full of labor
ers. Even those mostskilled In city occupations
find it hard 90 get steady work at living wages.
He has not that skill required in the city; he
must be common laborer and among common
laborers competition is to the death.
On the farm he has skill; in the city
he has notion the Streets excepted.
How can he expect to receive more for labor
without skill than for labor with skill? If no
engages in business in the city he encounters
com petition as sharp. and against it he must
contend without the aid of special training.
We are almost justified in calling it sheer luck
if he is successful, in competition with a hun
dred that, though trained in their business all
their lives, must fail in nine cases out of ten.
Almost every man who leaves the farm and en-
cages in business in the city, loses all he has.
Better is it TO hold fast The farm is certainty;
the city problematical, save the well-nigh GER
tainty of failure It is poor policy to sacrifice
skill; better to hold fast 10 it.
